This was a pretty tricky business, trying to come up with lines that, to my ears, didn’t sound corny and overused, and at the same time making sure the gestures didn’t climb into “Milking the Giant Cow” territory. I’m still not even sure if this succeeded.
That’s a carnation on the Mothersday welcome sign, by the way.

Okay, so I had only been given a maximum of 16 pages to illustrate this book, and with the title page, that meant that page 15 was it. Corny lines ("they were happy; they had made a new friend") aside, it really does close things out a little too quickly to say "after Anna gave her father the medicine..." The famous author Mark Twain once said, "Don't just SAY the woman screamed: bring her out and let her scream!" This means that it's best to draw things out in the story so that it feels more natural, but here I had run out of pages, and had set up a plot exposition that was never to be shown. As a result, we never get to see Anna's father (not here, anyway; we'll see him in my comic series though).
